Creator's Key Takeaways

The food quality on Norwegian Cruise Line is 100 times better than Carnival Cruise Line.

It is the close proximity lighting coming off of the closet as you make your way through a dark stateateroom toward the bathroom at night.

Harvest K is an amazing place to be. It really is.

Norwegian is a different feel of cruise. The music selections are very feel-good, lightweight music as you make your way through the ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack long khakis for dinner instead of shorts.
Get to venues early because they are small.
Use the solo studio lounge to meet and mingle.
Order room service for a flat fee per order.
Bring patience for room readiness on embarkation day.
